assign or transfer to the Company or its designee such Non-Assigned Asset for no additional consideration. Prior to conveying a Non-Assigned Asset as provided in this Section 2.2(b),
BridgeBio shall, and shall cause its applicable Subsidiaries to, cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a mutually acceptable arrangement under which the Company (and/or one of its Subsidiaries) will, in compliance

during such period in which BridgeBio attempts to obtain such consent, authorization or approval, BridgeBio, upon the Company’s prior written request, will cooperate with BridgeBio and use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the
Company in entering into a new Contract with the applicable Third Party on substantially similar terms; provided that such assistance shall not include assistance by BridgeBio
with the negotiation of commercial terms between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the applicable Third Party, on the other hand, related to such new Contract and in no event shall BridgeBio or any of its
Subsidiaries be required to take any action that will result in any additional economic obligations applicable to BridgeBio or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, further, that nothing in this Section 2.2(b) shall require BridgeBio or any of its Subsidiaries to pay any consideration
or make any concession with respect to any novation or assignment; provided, further, in no event shall the number
of initial Units and the percentage of outstanding Units set forth on Schedule 3.1 be reduced or increased in respect of any Non-Assigned Asset.

provides no assurances to the Investors that any consent, authorization or approval of a Third Party contemplated by this Section 2.2 will be granted. Subject to compliance by
BridgeBio with the provisions of this Section 2.2, the Parties acknowledge and agree that neither BridgeBio nor its Affiliates shall be obligated to obtain any such
authorization, approval or consent hereunder and neither (i) the failure to so actually obtain any such authorization, approval or consent in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in and of

Contract”). Each In-Scope Contract is valid, binding and enforceable on BridgeBio or its Subsidiaries or any of the Acquired Subsidiaries, as the case may be, and, to the Knowledge of BridgeBio, each other party thereto, and is
in full force and effect. There is no violation of, or default under, any such In-Scope Contract by BridgeBio or its Subsidiaries or any of the Acquired Subsidiaries, as the case may be, and no event has occurred that, with the lapse of time
or the giving of notice or both, would constitute a default thereunder by BridgeBio or its Subsidiaries or any of the Acquired Subsidiaries, as the case may be, or would permit or cause the termination thereof, in each case except as would
not have a BridgeBio Material Adverse Effect. Neither BridgeBio or its Subsidiaries or any of the Acquired Subsidiaries have received written notice from any other party to an In-Scope Contract that such party intends to adversely modify,
terminate, not renew or renegotiate in any material respect the terms of any such In-Scope Contract. Immediately upon consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, each In-Scope Contract shall continue in full force and effect on
substantially the same terms and conditions as of the date hereof and immediately prior to the Closing. BridgeBio has made available to the Investors true, correct and complete copies of each of the In-Scope Contracts.

Section 4.20 Affiliate Arrangements. Neither BridgeBio nor any Subsidiary of BridgeBio nor any of their respective Affiliates (other than the Acquired Subsidiaries) directly or indirectly
owns, uses, exploits or has any right, title, or interest in or to any asset, property, or right, tangible or intangible, which is owned by the Acquired Subsidiaries or primarily related to the In-Scope Programs. Except as set forth on Section 4.20 of the BridgeBio Disclosure Letter, no officer, member of the board of directors (or similar governing body) or employee of BridgeBio or any of its Affiliates (including the
Acquired Subsidiaries) is a party to any Contract (other than ordinary course employment arrangements) or transaction with the Acquired Subsidiaries or has any interest in any In-Scope Programs, Acquired Assets, Assumed Liabilities or any
other material assets or property used by the Acquired Subsidiaries.

possible for such Investor to liquidate such Investor’s investment in the Company readily, even in the case of an emergency.
33

Investor purchases (or any interest therein) or cause any such Units (or any interest therein) to be marketed on or through an “established securities market” within the meaning of Section 7704(b)(1) of the Code, or to the Knowledge of Investors,

non-U.S. law that is substantially similar to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of Title I of ERISA or the provisions of Section 4975 of the Code (“Similar Law”) or (b) (i) such Investor’s purchase of a Unit will not constitute or

(d) If at any time after the Closing, BridgeBio or any of its Subsidiaries receives a claim, invoice or demand from a Third Party with respect to
any amount that constitutes an Assumed Accounts Payable, BridgeBio shall promptly notify the Company, and the Company shall promptly pay, or shall cause to be paid, such amount to such Third Party (and promptly confirm payment of the same to
BridgeBio), or if such amount has already been paid by the BridgeBio or any of its Subsidiaries, the Company shall promptly reimburse BridgeBio or the applicable Subsidiary for any such amount.
Section 6.10 Employee Matters.
(a) Prior to the end of the period contemplated by the Transition Services Agreement (such period, the “Transition Period”), the Company
shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates, to make an offer of employment to each In-Scope Program Employee, which offer of employment shall be effective as of the first day following the end of the Transition Period (the “Transfer Date”).
Each In-Scope Program Employee who accepts such offer of employment and actually commences employment with the Company or any of its Affiliates as of the Transfer Date shall be a “Transferred Employee.” Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Section 6.10, if any In-Scope Program Employee is not actively at work and is receiving, or in a waiting or elimination period for, short-term or long-term disability benefits as of immediately prior to the Transfer Date
pursuant to an Employee Plan (each, an “Inactive Employee”) such Inactive Employee will remain employed with BridgeBio or any of its Affiliates as of the Transfer Date. If such Inactive Employee, within six (6) months following the
Transfer Date, is able to return to work, then immediately upon such return, BridgeBio shall so notify the Company, and the Company shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to, offer employment to such employee. With respect to each Inactive
Employee who commences employment with the Company, references to the “Transfer Date” in this Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the date that such Inactive Employee commences employment with the Company.
(b) From and after the Closing Date, the Company shall honor, fulfill and fully satisfy any and all obligations for the year in which the Closing
Date occurs for any cash bonus, commission or other incentive compensation Employee Plans in which any Transferred Employee participates immediately prior to such Transferred Employee’s Transfer Date (collectively, the “Bonus Plans”),
whether the obligation with respect thereto arises before, after or as a result of the Closing Date, in accordance with the terms of such Bonus Plans (the aggregate amount of such payments, the “Closing Year Bonus Payments”). As soon as
practicable following the payment of the Closing Year Bonus Payments to Transferred Employees (which shall be paid no later than March 15, 2025), the Company shall provide BridgeBio with a full statement of such payments made to Transferred
Employees. Within sixty (60) days following receipt of such statement, BridgeBio will reimburse the Company an amount equal to seven-twelfths (7/12th) of (i) the Closing Year Bonus Payments plus (ii) the employer portion of Taxes payable in
respect of the Closing Year Bonus Payments.
40
(c) Effective as of the Transfer Date, any unvested equity or equity-based incentive awards of BridgeBio held by Transferred Employees will be
forfeited as a result of the transfer of such Transferred Employees’ employment pursuant to this Agreement, and BridgeBio shall retain all Liabilities with respect to any equity or equity-based incentive awards of BridgeBio held by any In-Scope
Program Employee (including any Transferred Employee). Following the Transfer Date, the Company shall be solely responsible for the payment of any incentive compensation to Transferred Employees.
(d) Except for Excluded Liabilities or as otherwise specifically set forth in this Section 6.10, the Company shall assume (i) all
Liabilities with respect to the Company’s or its Affiliate’s employment or termination of the Transferred Employees on or after the Transfer Date, and (ii) all Liabilities otherwise set forth in the Transition Services Agreement (the “Assumed Employee Liabilities”).
(e) Prior to the Transfer Date, BridgeBio shall, or shall cause its applicable Affiliate to, fully vest each In-Scope Program Employee in his or
her account balances under each Employee Plan intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code, effective as of the Transfer Date, and make or cause to be made all employee and employer contributions to such Employee Plan on behalf of
In-Scope Program Employees had the transactions contemplated by this Agreement not occurred (regardless of any service or end-of-year employment requirements) but prorated for the portion of the plan year prior to the Transfer Date.
(f) BridgeBio shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, use their commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any foreign national In-Scope
Program Employee who requires a visa in order to work for BridgeBio or its Affiliates in his or her current position may continue to work in such position as a Transferred Employee on the Transfer Date. In the event such In-Scope Program Employee
is not authorized to work for the Company as of the Transfer Date, such In-Scope Program Employee shall become a “Delayed Transfer Employee.” From and after the Transfer Date and until the earlier of (i) the date each Delayed Transfer
Employee becomes employed by the Company or (ii) a date to be mutually agreed by the Parties (such period, the “Delayed Transfer Employee Term”), BridgeBio and its Affiliates shall make the services of such Delayed Transfer Employee
available to the Company until the applicable visa is obtained. During such Delayed Transfer Employee Term, Delayed Transfer Employees shall remain employees of BridgeBio or its applicable Affiliate, subject to any Delayed Transfer Employee’s
termination of employment due to termination for cause, resignation, death or disability. For and in consideration for such services from BridgeBio and its Affiliates to the Company, the Company shall pay and deliver to BridgeBio and its
Affiliates a monthly payment equal to the total amount of compensation, employee benefit expenses, employment taxes, liability insurance costs and overhead expenses (in each case, to the extent reasonable and documented) actually incurred by
BridgeBio and its Affiliates for each Delayed Transfer Employee providing services to the Company for the immediately preceding month; provided, however, such amounts may not exceed the total amount of compensation, employee
benefit expenses employment taxes, liability insurance costs and overhead expenses actually incurred by BridgeBio and its Affiliates for each such Delayed Transfer Employee immediately prior to the Transfer Date.
41
(g) During the period prior to the Closing Date, BridgeBio shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to make
independent contractors who provide services to the In-Scope Programs and are directly engaged by BridgeBio or its Affiliates available to the Company or its Affiliates for the purpose of allowing the Company to interview each such contractor and
determine the nature and extent of each such person’s continuation with the Company and its applicable Affiliates, if any.
(h) Nothing contained in this Section 6.10, express or implied, (i) is intended to confer upon any In-Scope Program Employee or any other
Person any right to continued employment or any particular term or condition of employment for any period, (ii) will prohibit or limit the ability of the Company or any of its respective Affiliates from amending, modifying or terminating any
benefit or compensation plan, program, policy, Contract, agreement or arrangement at any time assumed, established, sponsored or maintained by any of them, or (iii) will constitute an amendment to or any other modification of any Acquired
Subsidiary Plan or Employee Plan or other benefit or compensation plan, program, policy, Contract, agreement or arrangement. Further, this Section 6.10 will be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each of the Parties to this
Agreement, and nothing in this Section 6.10, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever (including any third-party beneficiary rights) under or by reason of this Section
6.10.
Section 6.11 Transitional Trademark License. Following the Closing, the Company and its Affiliates shall, as soon as practicable, but in
no event later December 31, 2024, cease to make any use of or to permit any third party to make any use of any BridgeBio Marks. Any use by the Company of any of the BridgeBio Marks as permitted in this Section 6.11 is subject to their
use of the BridgeBio Marks in a form and manner, and with standards of quality, of that in effect for the BridgeBio Marks as of the Closing Date; provided, that neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates shall use the BridgeBio Marks

terminate the foregoing, effective immediately, if the Company and its Affiliates fail to comply with the foregoing terms and conditions or otherwise fail to comply with any reasonable direction of BridgeBio in relation to the use of the
BridgeBio Marks. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement will prohibit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from (x) retaining and using, solely for its internal business purposes, records and other
historical or archived documents containing or referencing the BridgeBio Marks and (y) using the BridgeBio Marks in a descriptive or factually accurate manner where such use constitutes permitted non-trademark uses under applicable Law, including
uses not in commerce, uses that would not cause confusion as to the origin or sponsorship of a good or service and uses in historical, tax and similar records.

hire, employ or engage (in any capacity) any In-Scope Program Employee (including any Transferred Employee) of the Acquired Subsidiaries; provided, however, that this Section 6.13 shall not prohibit general solicitations
for employment through advertisements or other means not specifically directed toward employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries.
43
Section 6.14 Non-Competition.
(a) BridgeBio agrees that for the period commencing on the Closing Date and expiring on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing Date, neither it nor any of its controlled Affiliates shall directly or indirectly (including by way of licensing any Person) own any interest in, engage in, manage,

duration and in all other respects and are intended to comply with all applicable Laws. The Parties further acknowledge that the restrictions set forth in Section 6.13 and this Section 6.14 are necessary to protect the Investors’

intent of the Parties that the provisions of Section 6.13 and this Section 6.14 be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under applicable Law. Therefore, the Parties agree that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy

other equitable relief, as a remedy for any such breach. To the extent that any part of Section 6.13 and this Section 6.14, as applicable, may be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, it is intended that such part

ARTICLE VII
SURVIVAL; INDEMNIFICATION
Section 7.1 Survival. None of the representations and warranties of the Parties in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered by the
Parties pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing, except in respect of claims for Fraud. The covenants, agreements and other obligations of the Parties set forth in this Agreement that contemplate performance following the Closing
shall survive the Closing in full force and effect until fully performed in accordance with their terms. Each covenant in this Agreement that by its terms applies or is required to be performed in its entirety at or before the Closing shall
survive until the occurrence of the Closing and shall thereupon terminate.
Section 7.2 Indemnification by BridgeBio. Subject to Section 7.4, from and after the Closing Date, BridgeBio shall
indemnify, defend, hold harmless and reimburse the Company and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, members, managers, general or limited partners, representatives and advisors (the “Company Indemnified
Parties”) against, and hold them harmless from, and pay and reimburse such parties for, any Losses to the extent such Losses arise from or in connection with any and all Excluded Liabilities.
Section 7.3 Indemnification by the Company. Subject to Section 7.4, from and after the Closing Date, the Company shall
indemnify, defend, hold harmless and reimburse BridgeBio and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, representatives and advisors (the “BridgeBio Indemnified Parties”) against, and hold them harmless from, and
pay and reimburse such parties for, any Losses to the extent such Losses arise from or in connection with any and all Assumed Liabilities.
Section 7.4 Limitations on Indemnification. Each Person entitled to indemnification under this Article VII (an “Indemnified
Party”) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate all Losses that are indemnifiable or recoverable hereunder or in connection herewith after becoming aware of any event that could reasonably be expected to give rise to such
Losses (including by taking all reasonable actions to recover reasonably available proceeds under any Contract or insurance). The amount of any Losses for which either BridgeBio or the Company, as the case may be, is liable under this Article
VII shall be reduced by (i) any amount actually received by the Indemnified Party pursuant to any indemnification by or indemnification agreement with any Third Party, (ii) the amount of any insurance proceeds actually paid to the
Indemnified Party in respect of such Losses as an offset against such Losses (net of out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred in obtaining such recovery and the amount of any retrospective or other current increase in insurance premiums to the
extent attributable to the payment of such cash recovery or the existence of such Losses), and (iii) any net Tax benefits actually realized by any applicable Acquired Subsidiary as a result of the events or circumstances giving rise to the
incurrence, accrual or payment of the Losses that such Indemnified Party is to recover from the indemnifying Party, calculated on a “with and without” basis. If the amount to be netted hereunder from any payment required under Section 7.2
or Section 7.3 is determined after payment by the indemnifying Party (“Indemnifying Party”) of any amount otherwise required to be paid to an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article VII, the Indemnified Party shall repay
to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after such determination, any amount that the Indemnifying Party would not have had to pay pursuant to this Article VII had such determination been made at the time of such payment.
46
Section 7.5 Procedure.
(a) Any Person seeking indemnification provided for under this Article VII in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim made by any
Person (other than a Party hereto) against an Indemnified Party (a “Third-Party Claim”), shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the Third-Party Claim; provided that
failure to give such notice shall not affect the right to indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. Thereafter, the Indemnified
Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, as promptly as reasonably practicable following such Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all written notices and documents (including any court papers) received by such Indemnified Party
relating to the Third-Party Claim.
(b) If a Third-Party Claim is made against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled at its election and its cost to assume
the defense of such Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party; provided that such counsel is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnified Party
shall nonetheless have the right to employ counsel separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party
for any fees of such separate counsel with respect to the defense of such Third-Party Claim, unless the employment and reimbursement of such separate counsel is authorized by the Indemnifying Party in writing. If the Indemnifying Party does not
assume such defense, and for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed such defense, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of one single counsel (in addition to reasonable fees and
expenses of local counsel required in jurisdictions not central to the Third-Party Claim) employed (and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party) by such Indemnified Party (which reasonable fees and expenses shall be considered Losses for
purposes of this Agreement). If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend a Third-Party Claim or prosecute a claim in connection therewith, each Indemnified Party shall provide all cooperation as is reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party
in such defense or prosecution.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.5, no Party may settle, compromise or discharge (and in doing so, make any
reasonable admission of Liability with respect to) such Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
(d) An Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume or continue control of the defense of any Third-Party Claim if (i) the Third-Party
Claim (A) relates to or arises in connection with any criminal Legal Proceeding, or (B) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against any Indemnified Party, or (ii) the outcome of any judgment or settlement of such Third-Party Claim could
reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the ability of the Indemnified Party to conduct its or its Affiliates’ businesses.
47
(e) In the event an Indemnified Party has a claim against an Indemnifying Party under Section 7.2 or Section 7.3 that does not
involve a Third-Party Claim, such Indemnified Party shall deliver notice of such claim to the Indemnifying Party (i) stating the amount of the Loss, if known, and method of computation thereof, (ii) giving reasonable supporting documentation
relating to such Loss and (iii) containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed to arise, promptly after becoming aware of the facts or circumstances giving rise to such
claim; provided that failure to give such notice shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually and materially
prejudiced as a result of such failure. The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall, for a period of not less than sixty (60) days following receipt by the Indemnifying Party of the notice of such claim, negotiate, in good faith, to
resolve the claim, and such Indemnified Party shall not commence Proceedings with respect to such claim prior to the end of such period.
(f) All amounts owed by an Indemnifying Party under this Article VII shall be paid promptly (but in any event within five Business Days
from the date of determination of such amounts owed) by the Indemnifying Person through wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in writing by the Indemnified Party entitled to such payment.
Section 7.6 Exclusive Remedies. Other than (a) with respect to any right a Party may have to injunctive relief or specific performance,
or (b) in the case of Fraud, the Parties acknowledge and agree that following the Closing the indemnification provisions of this Article VII shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Article
VII for any claims for monetary relief by any Party; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, this Section 7.6 shall not limit any rights or remedies of any Member or the Company under the LLC Agreement.
ARTICLE VIII

Any purported amendment, supplement or modification that fails to comply with the foregoing shall be null and void ab initio. Any failure by any such Party to comply with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition herein may be waived by
the other such Parties only by a written instrument signed by such Parties granting such waiver, and such waiver shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure to comply with this Agreement. No
failure or delay on the part of any Party in the exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall impair such right, power or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of, or acquiescence in, any breach of any representation, warranty or
covenant herein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or any other right, power or privilege.
Section 8.3 Assignment; Successors and Assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall
be assigned by any Party (whether by merger, operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other Parties and any purported assignment in violation of this Section 8.3 shall be void; provided that without
the prior written consent of any Party hereto, each Investor and BridgeBio may assign any of its rights or obligations (in whole or in part) under this Agreement to one or more of its respective Affiliates without prior written consent of any
other Party; provided that any assignment of obligations shall only release the assigning party from such obligations to the extent actually performed. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit
of and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assignees.
Section 8.4 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except with respect to (a) D&O Indemnified Parties solely with respect to Section 6.7

within the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any federal court within the State of Delaware (and any appellate court therefrom)) (collectively, the “Chosen
Courts”) in any action or Legal Proceeding that arises in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement and the documents referred to in this Agreement or in respect of the transactions contemplated
herein, and hereby waive, and agree not to assert, as a defense in any action, suit or Legal Proceeding for interpretation or enforcement hereof or any such document that it is not subject thereto or that such action, suit or Legal Proceeding may
not be brought or is not maintainable in the Chosen Courts or that venue thereof may not be appropriate or that this Agreement or any such document may not be enforced in or by such Chosen Courts, and the Parties irrevocably agree that all claims
with respect to such action, suit or Legal Proceeding shall be heard and determined exclusively by such Chosen Courts.
(c) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY BE BASED UPON, ARISE OUT OF OR RELATE TO THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO
INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY BASED UPON, ARISING
OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT: (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY
WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER; (II) SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE FOREGOING WAIVER; (III) SUCH PARTY MAKES THE FOREGOING WAIVER VOLUNTARILY; AND (IV) SUCH PARTY HAS
BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVER AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 8.5.
Section 8.6 Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the other Parties will be irreparably damaged if this
Agreement is not performed in accordance with its terms and that any breach of this Agreement and the non-consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement would not be adequately compensated in all cases by monetary damages alone.
Accordingly, in addition to any other right or remedy to which a Party may be entitled, at Law or in equity, the Parties expressly consent to the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches or
threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement, without the need for proof of actual damages or any requirement under any Law to post a bond or other security as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief, in
accordance with its terms and to require any other Party to consummate the Closing and perform its obligations hereunder.
Section 8.7 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any provision hereof to any circumstances is held
invalid, unenforceable, or otherwise illegal by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other circumstances shall not be affected. Upon any such determination that any term or
other provision is invalid, unenforceable, or otherwise illegal, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order
that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.
50
Section 8.8 Counterparts; Electronic Delivery. This Agreement may be executed and delivered in two or more separate counterparts, each of
which when executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. This Agreement, the agreements referred to herein, and each other agreement, consent or instrument
entered into in connection herewith or therewith or contemplated hereby or thereby, and any amendments hereto or thereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a photographic, portable document format (.pdf), or similar reproduction of
such signed writing using electronic mail shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered
in person.
Section 8.9 Descriptive Headings; Interpretation. The descriptive headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do
not constitute a substantive part of this Agreement. Whenever required by the context, any pronoun used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms. Any singular term in this Agreement shall be deemed to
include the plural, and any plural term the singular. Where a word or phrase is defined herein, each of its other grammatical forms shall have a corresponding meaning. The use of the word “include,” “includes” and “including” in this Agreement
shall be by way of example rather than by limitation. Reference to any agreement, document or instrument means such agreement, document or instrument as amended or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, and if
applicable, hereof. The use of the words “or,” “either” and “any” shall not be exclusive. The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” shall convey the concept of degree, and such phrase shall not mean simply “if.” Except as otherwise
indicated, all references in this Agreement to “Schedules,” “Sections” and “Exhibits” are intended to refer to Schedules, Sections and Exhibits to this Agreement. The terms “hereof,” “hereunder,” “herein” and words of similar import will refer to
this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The use of the word “threatened” in this Agreement shall be deemed followed by “in writing.” All references to “dollars” or “$” shall be to U.S. dollars. References
to any provisions of Law shall be construed as references to such provisions as amended, expanded, consolidated or reissued, or as their applicability may be altered from time to time by other rules, and shall include any provision from which
they originate (with or without modifications), regulations, instruments or other legal rules subordinate thereto. References to any period of days shall be deemed to be the relevant number of calendar days (unless Business Days are specified); provided
that all references to terms or periods in this Agreement shall be counted excluding the date of the event that causes such term or period to begin and including the last day of the relevant term or period. All periods provided for in this
Agreement ending on a day that is not a Business Day shall be automatically extended to the first subsequent Business Day. The phrases “provided,” “delivered,” “made available,” or “furnished” (or any phrase of similar import) means that the
information referred to has been physically or electronically delivered to the Investors or its representatives (including the Investors’ Representatives and their representatives) at least one (1) Business Days prior to the date hereof (and
available continuously until the execution of this Agreement), including information or documents that have been uploaded to the data room hosted by Donnelley Financial Solutions Venue in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. This
Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties. The phrase “primarily related to” in respect of any program or business shall mean “primarily related to, primarily used or primarily held for use in” the conduct of such program
or business. The phrase “ordinary course of business” means an action taken by or on behalf of a Person that is consistent (including with respect to frequency and magnitude) with the past practices of such Person and is taken in the ordinary
course of the operations of such Person.
51
Section 8.10 Schedules. The BridgeBio Disclosure Letter and the exhibits, schedules and annexes to this Agreement shall be construed with,
and as an integral part of, this Agreement. Each capitalized term used in any exhibit, schedule or annex or the BridgeBio Disclosure Letter but not otherwise defined therein shall be defined as set forth in this Agreement. The BridgeBio
Disclosure Letter had been arranged in numbered and lettered sections and subsections corresponding to the applicable numbered and lettered sections and subsections contained in this Agreement. Each item disclosed in the BridgeBio Disclosure
Letter shall constitute an exception to, or as applicable, disclosure for the purposes of, the representations and warranties (or covenants, as applicable) to which it makes reference and shall also be deemed to be constructively disclosed or set
forth in any other section in the BridgeBio Disclosure Letter relating to other sections of this Agreement to the extent a cross-reference is expressly made to such other section in the BridgeBio Disclosure Letter or to the extent that the
relevance of such item as an exception to, or as applicable, disclosure for the purposes of, another section of this Agreement is reasonably apparent from the face of such disclosure that such disclosure also qualifies or applies to, or is
disclosed for the purposes of, such other section of this Agreement. The fact that any item of information is disclosed in the BridgeBio Disclosure Letter shall not be construed to mean that such information is required to be disclosed by this
Agreement. Such information and the dollar thresholds set forth herein shall not be used as a basis for interpreting the terms “material” or other similar terms in this Agreement. The inclusion of any item in the BridgeBio Disclosure Letter shall
not constitute an admission by BridgeBio that such item is or is not material. No disclosure in the BridgeBio Disclosure Letter relating to any possible breach or violation of any Contract, Law or Governmental Order shall be construed as an
admission or indication that any such breach or violation exists or has actually occurred. The BridgeBio Disclosure Letter and the information contained therein are intended only to qualify or provide disclosure for the purposes of the applicable
representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement and shall not be deemed to expand in any way the scope or effect of any of such representations, warranties or covenants.
Section 8.11 Notices. All notices hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given or made (i) as of the date
delivered if delivered personally, mailed by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested) or sent by overnight courier (providing proof of delivery) or (ii) as of the date transmitted if sent by electronic transmission

Section 8.12 Entire Agreement. The Transaction Documents (including the BridgeBio Disclosure Letter) collectively constitute the complete
agreement among BridgeBio, the Company the Investors and the Investors’ Representatives, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties hereto with respect to the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement, unless otherwise specifically provided in a written instrument executed by the Parties expressly referencing this Agreement and this Section 8.12.
Section 8.13 Public Announcements. Except as otherwise provided herein, (a) the Parties shall consult in advance with each other before
issuing any press release or otherwise making any public disclosure or public statements with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereunder; and (b) no such press release, public disclosure or public statement shall be made
unless mutually agreed upon by the Parties or required by Law or applicable stock exchange regulation; provided that each Investor (to the extent such Investor is a financial sponsor) is permitted to report and disclose, on a confidential
basis, the status of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby to its direct or indirect limited partners or current or prospective investors in connection with ordinary course fundraising, reporting or informational activities.
56
Section 8.14 Investors’ Representatives.
(a) Each Investor irrevocably authorizes and appoints the Investors’ Representatives as such Investor’s representatives and attorneys-in-fact to
act on behalf of such Investor with respect to this Agreement and any other Transaction Document (other than the Amended and Restated LLC Agreement) and to take any and all actions and make any decisions required or permitted to be taken by the
Investors’ Representatives pursuant to this Agreement or other Transaction Document (other than the Amended and Restated LLC Agreement), including the exercise of the power to:
(i) give and receive notices and communications;
(ii) execute and deliver all documents necessary or desirable to carry out the intent of this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents (other than the Amended and Restated LLC Agreement);
(iii) make all elections or decisions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (other than the
Amended and Restated LLC Agreement);
(iv) engage, employ, or appoint any agents or representatives (including attorneys, accountants, and consultants) to assist the
Investors’ Representatives in complying with their duties and obligations; and
(v) take all actions necessary or appropriate in the good faith judgment of the Investors’ Representatives for the
accomplishment of the foregoing.
(b) BridgeBio and the Company shall be entitled to deal exclusively with Investors’ Representatives on all matters relating to this Agreement and
the other Transaction Documents (other than the Amended and Restated LLC Agreement) and shall be entitled to rely conclusively (without further evidence of any kind whatsoever) on any document executed or purported to be executed on behalf of any
Investor by each of the Investors’ Representatives, and on any other action taken or purported to be taken on behalf of any Investor by each of the Investors’ Representatives, as being fully binding upon such Person. Notices or communications to
or from the Investors’ Representatives shall constitute notice to or from each of the Investors. Any decision or action by each of the Investors’ Representatives hereunder shall constitute a decision or action of all the Investors and shall be
final, binding and conclusive upon each such Person. No Investor shall have the right to object to, dissent from, protest or otherwise contest the same. The provisions of this Section 8.14, including the power of attorney granted hereby,
are independent and severable, are irrevocable and coupled with an interest and shall not be terminated by any act of any one or more of the Investors, or by operation of Law, whether by death or other event. For the avoidance of doubt, any
action taken by the Investors’ Representatives in accordance with Section 8.14(a) hereof shall be taken jointly by each Investors’ Representative and no Investors’ Representative shall be entitled to act independent of the other Investors’
Representative.
57
(c) Each Investors’ Representative may resign at any time; provided, however, in no event shall any Investors’ Representative
resign without the Investors (by action of the Investors representing a majority in interest of the Closing Date Cash Contribution (the “Required Majority”)) having first appointed a new Investors’ Representative who shall assume such
duties immediately upon the resignation of such Investors’ Representative. If, for any reason, either Investors’ Representative is unable to serve as an Investors’ Representative, a new Investors’ Representative shall be appointed by the
Investors (by action of the Required Majority). Notice of such appointment shall be sent to BridgeBio.
(d) Each Investor (pro rata based on the portion of the Closing Date Cash Contribution) hereby severally, for itself only and not jointly and
severally, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Investors’ Representative against all fees, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), damages, liabilities, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by such Investors’ Representative by reason of the fact it is or was acting as an Investors’ Representative pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, other than in the case of Fraud, the Investors’ Representatives shall not have any obligation
or liability to any Investor relating to the performance of their duties under this Agreement or under any Transaction Document. The Investors’ Representatives shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any
Investor. The Investors’ Representatives shall not be liable to any Investor for any action taken or omitted by them or any agent employed by them hereunder or under any other document entered into in connection herewith, except that the
Investors’ Representatives shall not be relieved of any liability imposed by applicable Law for willful misconduct or actual common law fraud with the intent to deceive under Delaware law as determined by a final, non-appealable order of a court
of competent jurisdiction.
(f) For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 8.14 shall not impact any of the rights, privileges, preferences or obligations of any
Investor under the Amended and Restated LLC Agreement.
Section 8.15 Privileges; Conflicts.
(a) Each of the Parties acknowledges that BridgeBio has retained Xxxxxxx, Arps, Slate, Xxxxxxx & Xxxx LLP (“Skadden”) to act as counsel
to BridgeBio in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, that Xxxxxxx has not acted as counsel for any other Person in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and that no other Person has the status of a client of
Skadden for conflict of interest or any other purposes in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. Each of the Parties further acknowledges that, after the Closing, Skadden may act as counsel to the Company or its
Subsidiaries in connection with matters arising out of or related to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby and the business activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries and that Skadden’s prior representation of BridgeBio shall
not be deemed to be a disabling conflict with respect to such representation. Each of the Parties hereby waives any conflict of interest resulting from the foregoing. The Parties further agree that, as to all communications, whether written or
electronic, among Skadden, BridgeBio, the Special Committee, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates, and all of their files, attorney notes, drafts or other documents, that relate in any way to this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby that predate the Closing and that are protected by the attorney-client privilege, the expectation of client confidence or any other rights to any evidentiary privilege, such protections belong to BridgeBio and may be
controlled by BridgeBio and shall not pass to or be claimed by the Company or any of its respective Affiliates or any of the Investors or the Investors’ Representatives. The Parties shall take, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to take,
all steps necessary to implement the intent of this Section 8.15(a). The Parties further agree that Xxxxxxx and their respective partners and employees are third-party beneficiaries of this Section 8.15(a).
58
(b) Each of the Parties acknowledges that the Special Committee has retained Xxxxxxx Procter LLP (“Xxxxxxx”) and Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx &
Xxxxxx P.A. (“Xxxxxxxx”) to act as counsel to the Special Committee in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, that neither Xxxxxxx nor Xxxxxxxx has acted as counsel for any other Person in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby and that no other Person has the status of a client of Xxxxxxx or Xxxxxxxx for conflict of interest or any other purposes in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. Each of the Parties further acknowledges that,
after the Closing, Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxxxx may act as counsel to the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with matters arising out of or related to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby and the business activities of the Company
and its Subsidiaries and that Xxxxxxx’x and Xxxxxxxx’ prior representation of the Special Committee shall not be deemed to be a disabling conflict with respect to such representation. Each of the Parties hereby waives any conflict of interest
resulting from the foregoing. The Parties further agree that, as to all communications, whether written or electronic, among Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, the Special Committee, BridgeBio, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates, and all of their
files, attorney notes, drafts or other documents, that relate in any way to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby that predate the Closing and that are protected by the attorney-client privilege, the expectation of client
confidence or any other rights to any evidentiary privilege, such protections belong to BridgeBio and may be controlled by BridgeBio and shall not pass to or be claimed by the Company or any of its respective Affiliates or any of the Investors.
The Parties shall take, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to take, all steps necessary to implement the intent of this Section 8.15(b). The Parties further agree that Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxxxx and their respective partners and
employees are third-party beneficiaries of this Section 8.15(b).
59
Section 8.16 Non-Recourse. All claims, obligations, liabilities, or causes of action (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity,
or granted by statute) that may be based upon, in respect of, arise under, out or by reason of, be connected with, or relate in any manner to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution, or performance of this Agreement (including any
representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to, this Agreement), may be made only against (and such representations and warranties are those solely of) the Parties and then only with respect to the express
obligations set forth herein and pursuant to the terms hereof. No Person who is not a Party, including any current, former or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, manager, shareholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney,
representative or assignee of, and any financial advisor or lender to, any Party, or any current, former or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, manager, shareholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, representative or
assignee of, and any financial advisor or lender to, any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Nonparty Affiliates”), shall have any liability (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or granted by statute) for any claims,
causes of action, obligations, or liabilities arising under, out of, in connection with, or related in any manner to this Agreement or based on, in respect of, or by reason of this Agreement or its negotiation, execution, performance, or breach,
and, to the maximum extent permitted by Laws, each Party hereby waives and releases all such liabilities, claims, causes of action, and obligations against any such Nonparty Affiliates. Without limiting the foregoing, to the maximum extent
permitted by Law, each Party hereby waives and releases any and all rights, claims, demands, or causes of action that may otherwise be available at law or in equity, or granted by statute, to avoid or disregard the entity form of a Party or
otherwise impose liability of a Party on any Nonparty Affiliate, whether granted by statute or based on theories of equity, agency, control, instrumentality, alter ego, domination, sham, single business enterprise, piercing the veil, unfairness,
undercapitalization, or otherwise. The provisions of this Section 8.16 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Nonparty Affiliate and each such Person’s heirs, representatives, successors or assigns, it
being expressly agreed that such Persons shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 8.16. Nothing in this Section 8.16 shall limit claims against (or liability of) any Person in respect of Fraud.
